Elisha

The son of Shaphat, called by Elijah while plowing with twelve yoke of oxen (1 Kings 19:19-21). When Elijah was taken up, Elisha asked for a double portion of his spirit and took up the mantle that fell from him (2 Kings 2:9-14). He ministered through the reigns of several kings of Israel, and the text records that he fell sick and died, and was buried (2 Kings 13:14,20). His birth year is not stated; the bar reflects his period of activity from Elijah’s departure to his death.
